Thanks and thanks!

Here is what my Tele sounds like, when played through my Peavy Delta Blues 115: http://hoponpop.bandcamp.com/track/the-key-2 Exactly as I had hoped!

Checking it out now!

Just tracked that solo last night with my new Tele and it was, in fact, perfect. Love it!

Just like a little Rory Calhoun!

Who are you?! I was at SIUC in the early 90s. And I was at quite a few of those bad ska shows at the Hangar and whatnot. I wrote for the Nightlife and DJed at IDB, too. I was also in a (terrible) band down there called Rufus.

I think that the problem with punk-ska is that the band that (kinda) invented the genre--at least the hardcore version of it--did it so perfectly and so well that every other band attempting the style just sounds like a pale imitation. Yes, I am talking about Operation Ivy. And, no I am not certain that they invented it, but they seem to be the earliest band that had any sort of a lasting influence on the sound. Listen to Energy and even the haters can see the appeal.

I agree with this. Not the end all be all, but still a pretty good band. Here's some blaphemy: Take some of Britney Spears' songs out of her hands, and there are some pretty damn good tunes there!

Nope. Just a solo/acoustic gig. Although I am going in for a recording session tonight and I have it sitting right next to me at my desk at work.

Pretty good. I have a couple of vids that my friend sent me. Accidentally played this one 1/2-step too high. Made it work though, I think: If you want more, let me know. I also have them posted at my band's FB page.Thanks for asking!

From a friend:

I think the same could be said by everybody here. We ALL fans, whether we know it or not.

Turbo Rat has more gain and is a bit nastier. The Tele: I'm playing it through a Peavy Delta Blues 1x15:
